Building Resilience In The Columbia Gorge
This project will focus on the science that links social-emotional learning with the promotion of appropriate secure attachment as the foundation for future health and resiliency.
The “Building Resiliency in the Columbia Gorge” project addresses the key conclusion from the 2016 Community Health Assessment that parents often times underestimate the actual needs of their children. Unmet needs of children can often lead to unhealthy behaviors later in life. This project will focus on the science that links social-emotional learning with the promotion of appropriate secure attachment as the foundation for future health and resiliency.
